...people in this country that are upset, that do not understand this at all. I'm not sure Africa understands this. The African union doesn't understand this. Because these calls, these harsh calls, were not coming from the African continent. So leaving a bloody civil war, leaving a void is not the thing to do. President Obasanjo (of Nigeria) did not take this action (of offering Taylor asylum) alone. This was a decision taken across the continent, and I have received invitations from other countries to come there. But I'll keep those names quiet...

In the end, they survived--tarnished but still together, quasi-triumphant, even. There was a Homeric quality to all this; the Clinton saga seemed more fantastic than real, the mischievous work of some puckish minor deity. (Cyclops and the Sirens had nothing on Gingrich and Lewinsky.) Bill Clinton...
...books on the topic will be published in August (TiVo Hacks, O'Reilly; Hacking the TiVo, Premier Press). There's also a step-by-step guide at tivofaq.com/hack Or you can do what I did: install a ready-made upgrade from WeaKnees.com All hacking will, of course, void your warranty. But what you get in return is a supercharged TiVo with three or more times the recording capacity. The larger the hard drive, the less you're forced to watch stuff on TiVo's schedule...
